‘They’re supposed to represent us, not sue us’: Crafts council threatens members after critical feedback Design & Crafts Council Ireland began legal action after 21 craftspeople said they were unhappy with its handling of their work

Tragic to read about bullying by @DCCIreland. They were such a visionary, pioneering organisation, yet my dealings with them in recent years highlight their ineptitude. So different from the artist-focused @artscouncilireland.bsky.social

What is most exciting me these days is woundedness. Our human frailty. I was deeply moved by Casa Freda @museofridakahlo.bsky.social It's from our brokenness that our strength arises. This has been the best year of my life.

Absolutely loving this book from @manchanmagan.bsky.social #booksky

Ah,it's so lovely to see one of those Gaeilge Tamahotchi pieces. Beautifully made.

For my first ever BlueSky post, I want to announce my first ever board book. It's called Irish Words For Nature
